Player Notes

June 27, 2008
Rasho Nesterovic and his $7.8 million salary was traded from the Toronto Raptors to the Indiana Pacers as part of the T.J. Ford, Jermaine O'Neal swap, according to ESPN.com.

Our View:Nesterovic gets a bad rap, mostly because he is ESPN analyst Steven A. Smith's least favorite player, but he is a decent player who can contribute valuable minutes to a team. He may even have use on some fantasy teams, but Indiana has a logjam at center, so it depends on the minutes he receives.

May 16, 2008
Rasho Nesterovic exercised the player option on his contract for the 2008-09 season, according to the AP.

Our View:The 10-year vet averaged 7.8 points and 4.8 boards over 71 games for the Raptors this season. He provides favorable depth off the bench.

The Raptors will change their starting lineup for Game 3, and it's likely that Rasho Nesterovic won't start. "Because of things that we're trying to do I'm not going to divulge the lineup but we are going to make some tweaks," head coach Sam Mitchell tells the Toronto Star. Nesterovic played only five minutes in Game 2. Jamario Moon, Jason Kapono, or Carlos Delfino could enter the starting lineup.

Our View:Mitchell seems like a coach in panic mode, as he has adjusted his rotation after both losses. Nesterovic seems to be the scapegoat for the Raptors inability to stop Dwight Howard, but Superman has dominated Mitchell's club both with and without Rasho on the floor.
